Know Your Obscure Norse Goddesses!

Very little is written about the warrior princess SkëlärthGrøønt, who took the form of an alpaca sharing a head with a soccer mom from Keosaqua, Iowa. One ancient text refers to a similar creature intervening in battle to confound the invading Visigoths with a series of increasingly complex riddles involving buttered toast.

NTMTOM, you got me again! I wish they could package your essence in a pill. There would be peace on earth and laughter everywhere.

@Berg, I think stand-up ears would definitely improve the human race. Actually, I’m a little miffed at The Powers That Be because I can’t purr and I don’t have one of those magnificent kitty tails. I love the thought of lashing it when angry and curling it daintily when I’m pleased.

@Inktellectual, thank you for sharing. I know that others hearing your story will be able to relate. LOL!!!

a norwegian friend says his ancestors only went out pillaging and marauding towards the end of winter… the larders were kind of empty, and the menfolk invented all kinds of excuses to be away from home once the wives dragged out the lutefisk.

“Skëlärthgrøønt,” NTMTOM? Are you sure that is not some obscure IKEA table lamp or a Tina Nordström recipe for herring that has been buried in a large earthen jar beneath the permafrost and disinterred after some months?

Man: (but in Spanish with subtitles in English) The llama is a quadruped which lives in the big rivers like the Amazon. It has two ears, a heart, a forehead, and a beak for eating honey. But it is provided with fins for swimming.
Guitarist & Dancer: Llamas are larger than frogs.
Man: Llamas are dangerous, so if you see one where people are swimming, you shout…
Guitarist & Dancer: Look out, there are llamas!

Nomtom, that was one of the best the posts ever. Visigoths and buttered toast and that frightful warrior princess SkëlärthGrøønt in one post. This early European time!
Not many scholars could pull that one off.

And yes, she is pretty obscure, but I’m positive that there are still scrolls to be found that will enlighten us more about her other doings.

A baby alpaca is called a “cria.” We’ve been raising alpacas for 7 years. To Inktellectual, alpaca fleece is not oily like sheep fleece is. That’s one of it’s good qualities…people who are allergic to wool will not be allergic to alpaca. This is an adorable photo for sure.
